The night was deep and quiet, with clouds flowing along the mountainside, obscuring the view below. The unfortunate thing was that it was too quiet, lacking a bit of Life Qi.
A Stone Monkey statue stood in the Dojo, silently watching the clouds flow.
A gourd flew in from somewhere, and the 'statue' suddenly moved, reaching out to grab the gourd. It pulled out the stopper, smelled the wine inside, and its eyes gradually became lively.
“Eat something first before we start?”
The young man who appeared in the Yin Yang Dojo had a wide smile and was carrying fruit in his hands.
The Stone Monkey said nothing.
Li Mo grinned and sat down beside him.
“I met an old lady selling fruit on the way. Her fruit hadn’t sold out so late, so I bought all of it. She was even worried I couldn’t finish it. Tsk, who is she looking down on?”
“When I beat you, I’ll take you for a stroll in her peach orchard.”
“Hey, drink slowly. If you drink too much, it’s hard to say who will win between us.”
“Heh heh.”
A voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Li was startled: “So you can talk?”
Previously, the Great Sage Projection had always been emotionless, with only combat instinct.
Coupled with his occasional mutterings, Monkey Brother never paid him any attention, so he subconsciously assumed it also couldn't speak.
The wine gourd was tossed back into his arms, accompanied by the sound of peeling and the tone from earlier:
“Your Physical Body cultivation is good, but your Divine Intention is still a bit lacking. Fifty moves, and you pass.”
“It was like this from the very beginning?”
Li Mo suddenly understood.
The corners of that monkey face curved slightly upward.
It seemed to find it amusing that this kid's goal all along had been to defeat him.
“Come!”
With a flick of Li Mo’s hands, both his left and right hands were already holding Profound Weapons: the hammer treasure and the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
After the Eight Nine Arcane Art advanced another level, he could wield the hammer treasure without using the power of the Small World.
The Celestial Human Divine Sword could also be used because his own Sword Intent had met the standard, so neither of these counted as using external force.
The hammer wind howled, clearing the way.
His figure grew a few inches taller, a sign of the Arcane Art in operation. The power unleashed by his Dragon-like Qi and blood was enough to tear apart the Inner Scenery domain. The Arcane Art not only strengthened his physique but, after initial mastery, also allowed him to fully mobilize every inch of his Physical Body.
Therefore, Li Mo’s strength only seemed to have increased by fifty percent, but in reality, the force of this hammer strike was several times stronger than before.
Clang—
The seemingly unshakable Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle showed a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor.
Of course, this was because the Great Sage Projection's power was restricted to the same realm.
Xiao Li, at this point, could not be judged by the conventional standards of the Guan Shen Realm.
“It worked!”
Li Mo stabilized himself, a hint of joy in his heart.
Ice Cube said he needed to fully exploit the strengths of his Physical Body.
His Yi Soul originated from the Great Sage Projection. No matter how strong his Divine Intention was, it could only prevent him from being suppressed, let alone gain an advantage. As for combat experience, there was even less to say. The only possible advantage he had was his physique.
She was right, this was Xiao Li: his physique was stronger than a Disaster Beast, his defense was comparable to a Profound Weapon, his hammer Dao was divine, his swordsmanship incorporated Martial Arts Comprehension that took others dozens of lifetimes, he had seven Mystic Cores, he had Karma Fire True Essence, Fallen Star Flame, he also knew Indestructible Diamond, Incarnation, and the Eight Nine Arcane Art could make all his strengths climb exponentially again... Which peer in the same realm could compare to his stats?
This hammer strike was all sweat and effort! Monkey Head!
Li Mo used the recoil to leap into the air, then plummeted like a meteor. His Qi and blood ignited the Fallen Star Flame, causing the hammer treasure to burst into explosive flames.
It looked like a mountain-splitting strike, but it was actually the Heaven-Slaying Hammer.
The Great Sage Projection twisted his wrist, deflecting the surging force of the previous hammer strike.
Then, he gripped his weapon and thrust it skyward.
Clang!
Qi burst forth, and a bell-like metallic sound echoed far and wide.
Logically, with such immense force, even a small hill «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» should have been flattened, but now, not even the ground of the Dojo was damaged.
This was not because the Yin Yang Dojo's material was special or overly sturdy.
Instead, the power was neutralized, and it even seemed to have been absorbed. The long staff curved slightly, using the force to counter itself, and the twisting force instantly cleared the dust.
Where the staff's shadow blurred, wind and clouds surged.
Li Mo attacked with both hands, the hammer treasure taking the offensive, while the Celestial Human Divine Sword occasionally struck from an oblique angle.
Weapons clashed back and forth, their sounds shaking the Nine Heavens.
This was his first time exchanging blows with the Great Sage Projection. In the past, he was always beaten down by that seemingly effortless staff, unable to lift his head. This was also due to the Great Sage Projection ultimately being just a projection, suffering a disadvantage in physique.
So... all the previous fights were just training sessions?
It's just that his skill level didn't allow him to realize it, and he often felt smug about being able to withstand a few more moves, like solving a difficult problem on a test paper.
He had no idea of the gap between him and the test setter.
He had taken advantage in every aspect.
What he had to consider now was still how to endure... because so far, what he relied on was pure martial skill.
Once he used his Divine Ability, the balance of the battle would instantly tip.
“Fifty moves...”
In Li Mo’s pupils, a staff shadow suddenly appeared, like a giant peak pressing down.
Behind the staff shadow were those pupils burning with firelight, showing an interest that hadn't been there before, and an even stronger sense of oppression.
Block with the hammer?
Counterattack with the sword?
No, there wasn't enough time... Fortunately, the little Genius had already developed an instinctive reaction through numerous sparring sessions, using the Taiyin Intent Soul to slow down the staff's momentum.
Li Mo crouched low.
Rolled on the ground!
To win, it's not shameful... Of course, if many people were watching, Little Li Swordsman would definitely be too embarrassed to use this move.
Perhaps no one could have imagined.
The Qianlong First of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the top young talent in the Guan Shen Realm (besides Ice Cube), rolled around like a tumbling gourd every day in an unobserved place.
Xiao Li’s roll was not a random one. freēwebnovel.com
After rolling over, his body sprang up like a coiled spring.
His seven Mystic Cores rotated within the Fallen Star Flame.
His True Essence and Qi and blood were perfectly fused during this roll, and his essence, Qi, and spirit were all adjusted to their peak, flowing into his Divine Intention.
“Earth-Slaying Hammer!”
Hmm, Xiao Li only chanted it silently in his heart, he didn't shout it out loud.
Countless ravines, earth-shattering!
The hammer was like a Dragon-snake rising from the land, roaring as it charged upward.
This time it was the Great Sage Projection's turn to split the mountain, his thousand-pound staff striking the hammer.
The hammer treasure was blocked head-on, while Li Mo rolled back a step, but his body was inverted. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Sword light surged.
A strand of hair was cut, silently falling to the ground, but presumably no one cared, because from the Sword Pellet, hundreds of Sword Intents now emerged, all remnants of the Celestial Human Divine Sword's Sword Rhyme, activated by the Sword Pellet at this moment.
The Sword Intent was like a long river, and Li Mo's figure disappeared into it.
“This doesn't seem to be the path you learned from me, but...”
He said, gripping the staff with both hands for the first time:
“A little interesting.”
Before he finished speaking.
In the surging sword tide, a staff, propped between Heaven and Earth, pierced into the long river, stirring the sword tide and... the surrounding wind and clouds.
This was also a momentum, but it overshadowed the master of this Heaven and Earth, becoming the center of Heaven and Earth.
“Until just now, he was still holding back?”
Li Mo suddenly realized.
He had just thought he had made some progress, so he had changed the elementary school problem to a middle school one.
It didn't mean he was close to his level.
At this point, he had no choice but to use this move... “Monkey Steals the Peach!!”
